Last Call has the calving ease look and the numbers and pedigree to back it up. Last Call is ultra smooth fronted, very long sided, level topped, and a well balanced bull. His dam, Greenwood Too Much Fun 27J was 2022 Reserve Champion Female Agribition and also 2022 CJLA National Champion Female at the Junior Show in Olds for Riley. The Shift x Too Much Fun mating is a winning combination. Last Call's extra age will truly benefit covering more females in his first breeding season. HP test pending.

A very attractive Ally daughter that never did herself justice in the picture pen. Her full sister was one of our favorite milking 2 year olds this spring. We will have 10 milking 702A daughters this coming spring and they will create the future of our limo herd. We really believe in the feet and udders of these females. 703L is very good footed, straight in her lines and pretty headed and attractive through her front 3rd. Safe bet for a productive cow.

A typical Electric Impact daughter. Really neat pedigree in this one where you will find Wisteria Lane, Tickle My Fancy, Young&Restless and Too Much Fun x 2. Talk about loaded with cow power. 63L is attractive in her design, sound made, deep ribbed and developing an awesome udder.

This Homo Polled female is one of the first Shift female’s to be offered for sale, she brings an impressive pedigree that blends the best of both proven and progressive genetics. 89L is muscular, clean lined and attractively designed. Bred for an early Kingsman calf makes her an ideal candidate to pay for herself with her first calf. Bred to Diamond C Kingsman 5K on March 29. (safe) No exposure.
A soggy individual that’s dog quiet. Correct in her structure, nice back leg and an extremely easy keeper. Her dam is a past high selling feature of the Western Select to Highland Stock Farms for $22,000. This one has many similar qualities to her dam but she underperformed in the picture pen. You can’t tell from the photo but this is the biggest topped female of the group.

A favorite around here phenotypically and comes with a loaded pedigree. The Zoom Bloom x Electric Impact mating creates what you would expect in terms of mass, middle third and overall capacity. You won’t find a bigger middled one. 16L is flawless in her design and sound on the move and at the ground.

A dark red, hairy female that is bold sprung in her rib shape and stout hipped. A maternal sister was a feature high seller in last year’s sale to Plains Limousin. If you like moderate, stout cattle that come from a productive cow line look closely here.
Bred to Greenwood Shift PYN 716J on Mar 27. (safe) No exposure.
Fancy show heifer prospect with extra length and perfect lines that lead into a long sleek neck. Heavy muscled, big boned and a cocky look would best describe this one. She’s extremely stout yet carries herself with ease. The Fugitive x Ally 702A combination has worked very well. We’ve only scratched the surface of what we feel is to come for 702A. Have some fun with this one on the halter and then let her be an impactful cow.

Lena 227L was purchased from the Allen family at Windy Gable in Ontario last fall as we appreciated her shape, substance and pedigree. We had plans to attend the 2024 CJLA Show and utilize Lena but plans never panned out and we appreciate the service by Windy Gable. She did get to Sask this summer and she is the deepiest, stoutest, easiest doing female on the farm. We have decided to offer her for sale due to the early service and the opportunity that we feel she will present for another breeder. Powerful female.

Dancin 306L is one of the coolest breds we have ever offered! Dancin 306L is extremely stylish, long bodied and deep chested. Her dam is one of the first Eisenhower daughters milking in Canada, the milk production on these Eisenhower daughters is second to none and their udders have great texture and shape. Pedigree wise, she is the most docile genetics we have in the breed and she really is as quiet as a kitten. The kids absolutely loved her, as a calf they took her out to the Westlock Fair where she was crowned Grand Champion Continental Heifer. Phenotypically she is well balanced, with a long neck, powerful chest, and big top. Bred to the Commitment bull she is carrying a very cool ticket and her real potential is all the possibilities she has as a breeding chip.

306L as a calf
Honey 372L is a hairy, deep sided, big top female that is a true phenotypical gem. The Jackpot 29J and Cadilac Jack cross really knocked it out of the park. The best place to see this heifer is in person, she is clean fronted, smooth shouldered, wide chested, bold ribbed and powerful quartered. The Cadiallc Jack females are perfectly uddered and great footed. Massive potential to really be a great one and she has the phenotype to get it done and the genotype to back it up. Honey 372L is bred to our new calving ease sire Highs Leader who was bought out of the top of the High bulls sale last spring. Resulting calf will be Homo Polled by pedigree.

Envious 379L is out of a really stacked pedigree. It is pretty rare we ever part with an Envious they are a real back bone to our herd, so much so we try to place at least one in every pasture as a lead cow. They always have a great attitude and if they are within ear shot they will come running when called. Envious 379L is one of the most docile heifers, last year we scored her not just as quiet but extremely quiet when weaned. She is also a very long bodied, hairy typed heifer with a great foot shape and profiles really well, she is angular in her make up and is out of a very productive cow that is very consistent with a picture perfect udder. With Galahad as the sire she is sure to be a great milker. We love the thought of the mating to the Richmond Jackpot bull and how the cross should really work well together.

Darling 382L is a classic throw back to the big power broody type limousin female. She has massive rib shape with a long spine and she is dropping a stunning udder. We love how this heifer is progressing and when you get to analyze her you really have to appreciate how deep she is in her quarter and smooth in her make up. Take a look at her video! She is smooth moving, athletic and great footed. Her dam is a Cole First Step daughter with big milking ability and we are milking plenty of the Ken Doc Grady daughters and we love their udder shape and consistency.

We can’t say enough about our JYF Galveston daughters and this one is no exception. She is a thick made heifer with strong EPDs and a phenotype to match. She comes from a “cow making” cow family. Approximately 22% of our herd is part of this one particular cow family which is a testament to their maternal qualities and production. They are consistent in what they raise, are good mothers, have pleasing dispositions and will raise you replacement females and bulls for the bull pen. Liberty has a lot to offer the industry – she is correct in her makeup, broody while maintaining femininity and above average EPDs.

This heifer is truly one of a kind! Her dam is a December born 4 year old that we absolutely believe will become a donor at Amaglen. She consistently raises a great calf, has an absolute picture perfect udder and is the kind of female we are striving to raise. Martin actually selected both Maybelle and her full sister and we knew we could only part with one. This heifer calf is extremely docile and was a dream for the girls to halter break. The girls really don’t want to part with this sweetheart but we feel that she is an excellent opportunity for another junior. We believe in data at Amaglen and this little lady is well above average in all Growth and Maternal EPDs as well as Carcass. She’s the total package.

Who wouldn’t want to spend some time in Miami? This heifer makes it feel like you are on vacation with how easy doing she is. Her sire needs no introduction in our herd as B Bar Wrangler has added depth of body, milking ability and muscle shape to his calves. On the dam side DJE Exquisite has been a no miss cow and put her all, in to each calf. Miami is the third Wrangler sired calf she has raised and definitely another good one as she is one of the most show appealing heifers we have raised. She is a complete package with muscle shape, depth of body and topped off with respectable EPDs. Juniors, if you are considering attending the 2025 Impact show, we will work with you on either of our heifers as Swift Current is just 10 minutes away.
Another Wrangler heifer we think very highly of. This heifer continually caught our eye throughout the summer as she is a very showy, feminine heifer. She is a balanced heifer front to back with great depth of body and again very respectable EPDs. Her dam SGL Drama Queen is one of many Richmond Zeus daughters at Short Grass that have added maternal power to the cow herd. The first Wrangler daughters did a great job for us this summer and we expect Mercedes to be no exception. Juniors, if you are considering attending the 2025 Impact show, we will work with you on either of our heifers as Swift Current is just 10 minutes away.
